Bodhiseed Mala Prayer Beads

Bodhi is the Sanskrit word for ""awakened."" Bodhi Seed is the traditional Tibetan Buddhist Mala, with very large, approx. 11-13mm beads that become more beautiful with age and use. Perfect for larger, mens hands and the sturdiest mala for prostration (bowing) practice. Metal Counters as shown available separately.|n|Bodhiseed absorbs the oils from your skin and from the environment to become a shining dark, almost petrified bead. We take new, slightly shaped, and tea-stained Bodhi Seeds, and custom string them with various hunks of beads and semiprecious stones including real turquoise, coral and sterling spacers if you like. We offer the strongest beadcraft materials available, so work well for heavy use like ""prostrations."" (If coral is used, please note that coral is inherently porous, and should not be considered a defect) Complimentary Silk Mala Bag included!|n|
